SPICY DIPPING Hotpot, BEER RAMEN & Richmond Night Market in Vancouver Canada

Cheers Hey, hello from Seattle. Sorry kitchen everything's kind of a mess. I kind of work here So it's it's pretty messy right now. Anyway, one of the reasons I wanted to live in Seattle is his proximity to Vancouver It's about time to hit up north and eat what they got. So it's Vancouver food trip time Breakfast time and Vancouver is really known to have some of the best Cantonese food in all of North America And there are a bunch of these old-school Cantonese places that are really really popular We're gonna do one of them for breakfast. This one right here Lido restaurant This is an old-school Hong Kong eatery. This is the menu I got their famous pineapple cake, which they say it's gonna take forever, which I said, okay, I'll wait it out I got I got some spam and I think some kind of noodles. I'm not exactly sure I was under a lot of pressure. I actually had no idea. I order this This is a very typical Hong Kongese breakfast macaroni With with meat and it's topped with basically whatever you want. So I got mine with some char siu I mean everything looks good and smell good. I just did not Really know this is what I ordered Of course, you gotta have some milk tea with your meal. That's some traditional Hong Kong milk tea. No sugar, milk, strong tea flavor The soup is nice, it's flavorful I feel like it needs a little bit of something. Some people like to add a little bit of this. This is improve the taste of soup Let's spice this thing up. I don't know if this is something you're supposed to do or not, but I'm doing it. Oh yeah Much much better with some of that soy sauce and some of that hot oil That's actually transformative So this is the famous pineapple bun Now a pineapple bun doesn't actually have any pineapple in here. It's just like a sugar crusted bun It's probably one of the most common bakery items you'll find in any Chinese bakery That's probably the best version of this bun I think I've ever had. This is like a cloud-like bun with a slippery crust on top All you want to do after eating one, is to have another This is another result of my hasty ordering. I got a random ham and eggs. I really don't know how to even Can you complain about ham and eggs? My second pineapple bun and the secret of eating it like a local is a slab of butter in the middle as If you know this thing isn't decadent enough, but actually this bun is super light and fluffy Look how pretty it is Yeah Do that. I mean, that'll take about five years off your life, but promise you that's worth it Just a little bit of salty creamy butter in the middle. So now you got sweet, fluffy, crusty, and creamy with a bit of saltiness when you come here Don't be scared off when they say you're gonna have to wait a long time. What they mean by that is like 10 minutes, 15 minutes Not that long and trust me guys Just like the love of your life. This thing is worth the wait And get that butter. I just thought of something Take my bun and I put some ham and egg in here. I made a little sandwich I mean this bun is a little sweet, a little fluffy already. The ham and egg is good Why not form a union? This is even better now Make a sandwich out of your pineapple bun. Get a slice of ham, get some eggs, get some butter One of the best breakfast sandwiches you'll ever have in your life. That's really a gem of a place I mean it is old-school. It is aggressive. So if you really want a pretty authentic experience, that's where you go And the food is amazing I mean a simple rustic comfort food and that's the best type of food and the pineapple bun You guys need to go get the pineapple bun So if you go in they actually do have English menus If you guys go in there, you can't speak any any Mandarin or Cantonese like just ask people for help I mean everyone's super friendly. Just remember pineapple bun with butter. There you go And this is just the beginning of the food day. I'm gonna go meet up with some friends We're gonna go get some hot pot and this place is pretty unique. I remember this place Aberdeen Center. This whole area actually is just full of food places I've said many years ago if I ever lived in Vancouver this area, this is where I would live. Here it is Chuan Chuan Xiang, which basically means skewers skewers Fragrant. What is this panda eating? What are you? Is he eating meat skewers? It is a bear Welcome to the private room. You love skewers? I do. You love hot pot? Yes, I do. We're at the right place Last part of the sauce basically Apparently in this hot pot place, you just add everything. You see all the sauce go in and then you add in their little sesame oil We got some color in the sauce it looks good, I mean, it's not like a typical hot pot sauce I would typically put together but That's not bad. Yeah, that's really not bad. Okay, that's our pot so they made the spice themselves That made the regular soup so much more beautiful when he came out with a plastic bag, I'm like Did he just buy that at a grocery store? Like the old local H Mart down the hall, he's just like giving you a spice bag, but that's actually legit That is wonderful. Yeah, it feels like very calming like my soul is calm This is one of the best hot pot broths I've had in a while. Yeah, that's actually really good. You want to try the spicy one? Sure, let's try the spicy one Ready for this? Yes Spicy side. Yeah, do a little dunking Right there. Give a little swim, you know All right Happy Skerr's day. Cheers. Oh That's great Well, the beef is so tender. Mm-hmm. And the sauce really helps with the kind of diluting a bit of the spice which is good The garlic is amazing in this the garlic and the chilies adds a little crunch and I see why they are any peanuts in here Because the beef is so tender. You need a little difference in texture. That's not even that spicy Yeah, not spicy at all I want to try these ribs. I love ribs. Oh, the ribs? Yeah. I've never had ribs on a stick. Let's do it. That's really good. I would say if you just had it like this, it's okay But with the sauce and it definitely makes it a lot better. Oh my god, this is great. Hey, what is this? Oh, this is a beef stomach. This might be my favorite cut so far This is such a fun way to eat a hot pot. That's true. It's a lot more I think I feel like when it's food, it's hands-on. It's a lot more fun. I think with friends too, it's good to cook your own stuff. I actually really really enjoy this but I can't believe I didn't know a place like this exists. I thought I was like I ate all the hotpots in the world before. Mm-hmm. I've never had something like this and this is so so enjoyable All right, we gotta finish this because afterwards we're going for some beer Ramen. Beer ramen. Oh my gosh. Oh, it's coming Thank you. All right. I guess we take a sip, right? Cheers. All right. Cheers to you. Yeah, man. We're in a bar drinking ramen beer All right. Yeah, that's not definitely not what I expected That is ramen miso soup I was expecting a beer as well. For some reason, I don't know why. Even though we know it's soup there It's not real beer. You're still kind of expecting like a little Like a little bubbly taste. Yeah. Not at all. I don't know how to eat nicely, but this is I'm just gonna eat it how I like it. Don't need to eat nicely around me. Can I just tell you this is not half bad. Yeah. Right? Yeah, I like it that it's cold. It's different. It's refreshing. It's nice for the summertime. The noodles are really nice Nice and al dente. I actually think this needs a little wasabi. You in it. I'm proud of you. Let's see What did the ramen say to the bee? The beet? The bee. What's up, bee? What's up? What's up, bee? I think it's better with the wasabi. It's a lot more spicier. Seriously, I Thought I would absolutely hate this thing, but really not bad. Thanks for thanks for having a ramen beer with me. Yeah, any time. More food coming up. I think we'll go to a fish place. Really? Sounds fishy. Oh my jokes, so funny.
